The Past Inside The Future – A Tribute To Phillip K. Dick
Philip K. Dick as a source of inspiration: For our first label-sampler we have asked 19 artists to contribute works based on a part of Dicks opus they considered important. As the outcome covers a broad spectrum of electronic music from abstract explorations to subtle beat-excursions to spoken word there remains the unifying perimeter of the often questioning and melancholic outlook on Dick's world.

re_naissance transcriptions
Mit dieser CD begibt sich das ensemble recherche weit zurück in die komplexe Welt der Renaissance-Polyphonie. Harrison Birtwistle und Peter Maxwell Davies haben sich, ebenso wie ihre jüngeren Kollegen Karlheinz Essl und Georg Kröll, die Werke von Ockeghem, Dunstable oder Tallis vorgenommen. Deren Werke erscheinen in den Adaptionen verblüffend neu – von der Uminstrumentierung des Originals über rhythmische Verfremdung bis hin zu komplett neu komponierten Passagen reicht das Spektrum der Veränderungen.

Alpenglühen
Mit dem Projekt "Alpenglühen" hat sich Hamburger ensemble Intégrales auf eine Spurensuche nach Wurzeln und Identitäten österreichischer Musiksprachen begeben, die den Anspruch hat, vermeintliche Gegensätze unter jungen Komponisten zu vereinen. Das Besondere und Auffällige daran ist, daß sich die Kompositionen den gängigen Bewertungskriterien der Neuen Musik entziehen und in ihren musikalischen Gesten etwas Neues bilden. Die Inszenierung der Werke innerhalb der CD spiegeln ein Stück außergewöhnlicher musikantischer Musiksprache wieder, die sich aus der Kombination der Werke ergibt: Rockmusikelemente bei Gander, Computergestützte Improvisation bei Essl, Volksmusikanklänge bei Dienz stellen eine konzeptionelle Herausforderung dar, die dem künstlerischen Profil des Ensembles haargenau entspricht.

South Asia PhoNographic Mornings
Curated by Stéphane Marin

M.A.Y.A. (2019)
generative binaural soundscape composition

Stéphane Marin presents a weekly series of twenty soundscapes recorded in the mornings at various locations throughout South Asia. Entitled « South Asia PhoNographic Mornings » this series forms part of a wider project, « Each Morning of the World », which invites sound artists, composers and recordists globally to share their own specific point of listening, either through a raw field recording or original composition.

This project tends to focus on the vivacity and the creativity of the « soundscape » scene in the world. For that Stéphane Marin asks to a representative sample of sound creators, composers, recordists who use field recording as a part of their creative process to share with the audience a creation or a raw recording of their own morning in a precise location of the world.

Each Morning of the World 2019 (Toulouse, France)
